The Sassi of Matera in Basilicata.
How much history you can breathe when you arrive in the narrow streets of the City of Sassi, Matera.
I was able to visit it thanks to the cruise excursion I took with my girlfriend a few weeks ago.
Truly such a beautiful place that I could not imagine.
These houses, built one on top of the other, are nothing more than the external part of real caves dug into the mountain.
This is the view you can enjoy from one of the most famous terraces: the Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio from which you can see the Sasso Barisano.
